Image
I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
H. G. Wells
Image
We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is only now and then, in a jungle, or amidst the towering white menace of a burnt or burning Australian forest, that Nature strips the moral veils from vegetation and we apprehend its stark ferocity.
H. G. Wells
Image
Cynicism is humor in ill health.
H. G. Wells
Image
If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement ... collapsed like a house of cards.
H. G. Wells
Image
A day will come when beings, now latent in our thoughts and hidden in our loins, shall stand upon Earth as a footstool and laugh, and reach out their hands amidst the stars.

We must end war before war ends us.
H. G. Wells
Image
There is no more evil thing in this world than race prejudice, none at all. [...] It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty, and abomination than any other sort of error in the world.
H. G. Wells
Image
He began to realize that you cannot even fight happily with creatures that stand upon a different mental basis to yourself.
H. G. Wells
Image
Good books are the warehouses of ideas.

The War That Will End War.
H. G. Wells

Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells
Image
We live in reference to past experience and not to future events, however inevitable.
H. G. Wells
Image
The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.
H. G. Wells
Image
I stood staring, not as yet realising that this was death leaping from man to man in that little distant crowd.
H. G. Wells
Image
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
H. G. Wells
Image
In all the round world of Utopia there is no meat. There used to be, but now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And it is impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.

The State's your mother, your father, the totality of your interests. No discipline can be too severe for the man that denies thatby word or deed.
